8Cook the skin side for about 8-10 minutes. Then turn the other side and cook for about 5-1
9Once both side are seared, put the duck breasts into the pre-heated oven and cook for about 25 minutes depending if youd like to have the meats slightly medium cooked. If you prefer them to be cooked well done, leave in the oven slightly longer.
